The subject is a complete silhouette, with less than 10% lit from the back (right), just enough to give shape/dimension. Great action shot! I was trying to remember if that was called a skimboard ... I haven't seen a real one in a long time ...

Greetings from the Critique Club
Funny I should get your image, because I just critiqued one of you images a few challenges ago. Well here it goes:

Composition: Possibly a little more space at the top and a little less at the bottom, but it is only minor. A little tilt may have helped as well.

Technical: Although it is a silhouettes challenge the sand and first wave seem a bit dark. Slightly less DOF or a lot of manuel blurring in the background would make the subject stand out a bit more.

Overall: AWSOME skimboarding picture. Great action capture. I love the splash, I love the frozen subject midair. I think this may have done a bit better if the subject was more silhouetted. Excellent job

Nice shot. I'd be tempted to crop off just a little more from the bottom. I think the darkness of the land detracts just a bit too much from the nice subtle blues of the water, hills and sky. I'd leave some, but not quite as much.

Nice capture.
Good angle, it looks posed and 'true' at the same.
You've also succeeded at depth of field where many others have failed.
